Thanks for the reply, now my only hope is being able to turn the program change off on my Nord and I couldn't find that in their manual either...

  You can't. Unless you put the AN1x in Local Off mode, but then you can't 
  control it from the keyboard either.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried unsuccessfully to filter out midi program change in the Nord and since it's not possible to stop the Yamaha from sending program changes I'm stuck unless I use an external midi mapper. I've had lots of synths that lets the master dictate the midi but the AN1X was probably never intended to be a controller so it's kind of o.k. I still love its sounds.

  Hello !
  you cannot stop your "master" synth (AN1X) to send all kinds of MIDI 
  messages, but may be you can "filter" them in the "slave" synth . Most 
  of the MIDI machines have a "MIDI filter" for the incoming data. OK, as 
  on my Red Sound, it is sometimes strange : on this i can filter most of 
  the MIDI incoming data except ... program change !
  Cheers
  J.F.

I'd have to disagree with you thinking that the AN1x wasn't intended as 
a controller.  I've had excellent success with it.  One of it's useful, 
although a bit quirky, functions is that section on the lower right of 
the switch matrix labeled "Ctrl, Device and Ctrl No."  Read up on this 
in the manual, because it is the section where any of the controllers on 
the AN1x can be routed for specific MIDI events.  The way the routings 
occur affect internal as well as external functions.  For instance, I've 
set up the Foot Controller routed to MIDI CC 4 - this is going to send 
CC 4 messages whenever I move the pedal.  But, I've set CC 4 routed 
internally to SCENE, to morph between scenes.

What the AN1x responds to internally may be different than what your 
external synth is looking for.  You can set up what you need in this 
controller section.

Filtering Prgram Change messages is not a run of the mill feature. I've had sound modules 
that allow you to remap Pgm chg, but I can't think of one that let you disable it entirely. 
Typically you WANT your Master Keyboard to send Pgm Change. Your mileage may vary :-)
You might want to check out the offerings from MIDI Solutions and perhaps see if one of 
their devices can sit in your MIDI chain from AN1x -> Nord and filter Pgm Chg. The URL is
http://www.midisolutions.com/products.htm

Anatek and Phil Rees use to make comparable boxes as to MIDI Solutions but no longer I 
think.

You might consider a 2nd hand MIDI Patchbay or a multi-port MIDI Interface with event 
filtering off eBay.

Or you could always take the poors mans way out and simply copy the same Patch on your 
Nord to consecutive program slots so Pgm Change becomes irrelevant ;-)

Jon
